New grey windowcheck tweed jacket

Here are some closeups of one of the new tweeds still available.  The base color is a med grey with tan windowcheck.  This jacket has topstiched lapels and patch pockets which are also topstitched.  The fabric is not a super heavy tweed, but is easily wearable well into late spring.  The fabric has a soft finish to it and is definitely the best tweed we've had to offer to date.

2 button Traditional suit

Here is a client photo that is a great example of the 2 button traditional (aka conservative cut) cut suit. The Traditional/conservative cut is not loosely fitting. It is still fitted as are all Thick as Thieves suit, the difference is mostly in the details, with less aggressive detailing. The lapels are slightly wider, jacket length slightly longer (closer to "normal"), traditional styled ticket pocket, side slant trouser pockets. The fit is still fitted, the only difference from the house cut is the trouser has less taper so it isn't as skinny down towards the leg hem.

NEW ITEM: Tuxedo

Every so often I actually listen to what my clients want, well I ALWAYS listen, but don't necessarily do anything about it (!) Having gotten quite a few requests for a formal tuxedo, I decided to give it a go since my house cut one button suit wasn't too far removed from a tuxedo style. So here is the first offering of a 2 piece tux (no cummerbund, but does anyone even wear one anymore?) Black peak lapel, one button design. Jacket is unvented, all buttons are satin covered, single button on jacket sleeve, satin lapels and trim on jacket, satin stripe down trouser leg. Trouser has no rear pockets and 2 button'd side tabs rather than belt loops. So next time you need to go to a black tie event, show up in style.

One button half lined Jacket

See post below for inside shot of the half lining.

This jacket is a one button notch lapel in the "Petrol Blue", tho it has photo'd more grey but the fabric is definitely a blue tone. The jacket also has swelled seams at the lapels (an homage to vintage styled jacket lapels) and has Mother of Pearl buttons, which are now available at a slight surcharge. Normally the notch lapel One Button jacket has horizontal pockets, but this one has the angled hacking pockets, with the house detail overlapping ticket pocket.

New for Spring/Summer: Half Lined Jackets

For those of you looking for a warm weather jacket, this is a new construction option....a half lined jacket. Now personally I don't believe a "warm weather" jacket exists in any capacity but this will definitely be more wearable when paired with a lighter weight fabric like the recent new Greys and Herringbones. More summer fabrics to come in near future as well.

The jacket is half lined as you can see, with taped seams using the lining as edge reinforcement.

Navy jacket with NEW MOTHER OF PEARL BUTTONS

Navy wool jacket with now available option, Mother of Pearl buttons for all closures. Smoky colored high quality MoP buttons give navy and grey jackets a new dimension of cool and individuality. There is a minimal surcharge for the MoP buttons and depending on availability, it may add a few days to your turnaround time.
